T61P How to Increase Screen Brightness?

I have a T61P with a 15.1 WUXGA display. I find the screen barely readable outside. It is best read in a dark room. Is there a way to increase brightness?
Previous Methods Tried:
1. I have use the fn+home on the keyboard.
2. I have increase brightness and gamma in NVIDIA Control Panel.
3. I have installed latest monitor display driver.

There's a setting in the BIOS - Display Brightness (high or normal).  Try setting it to high.  If this doesn't work, you may have a problem with your display.

  • How to reduce screen brightness below standard level

    Hi !
    How to reduce screen brightness below standard level in ThinkPad T520 ?
    I think it is possible somehow, but I don't know how. I reduced brightness to zero using Fn key + End key, but it's not enough, I want to make screen darker, because my eyes get tired.
    Solved!

    The latest Intel graphics driver (from Lenovo) is here:

    This should provide a decent lower bound to brightness. If the install complains about unsupported hardware, force the install using Device Manager and Have Disk. (Something like this: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/11997-have-​disk-method-for-windows-7-vista/ )
    If that didn't work, try f.lux (https://justgetflux.com/). It has a software dimming feature (of course, this loses contrast).

  • Satellite P500 - Can't increase screen brightness

    I have a new Satellite P500.
    The problem I have is if I have the power switched off for several hours I lose the ability to increase the brightness of the screen. I can get the brightness increase at level 4 and when I increase to level 8 the brightness decrease. If I go down the screen goes black. The only solution I have found is to power down, take out the battery put it back in and power up.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    I would recommend to recover the notebook
    This would allow you to reinstall the OS and to set the notebook to the factory settigns.
    I think the issue might be related only to software problem maybe something wrong with installed VAP or other tools however its necessary to known if this will happen using Toshiba preinstalled OS
    Dont install any 3rd party software before testing this display brightness FN+F6 and F7 key combination.

  • How to decrease screen brightness below the minimum ?

    I have windows 7 as bootcamp. I can decrease the screen brightness to the minimum but that itself is too bright to my eyes. But the minimum setting when i use mac is less brighter...
    So is there a way i can decrease the brightness below the minimum in bootcamp ?
    Thanks

    Hi Gopa,
    I have the same problem with all my Macs under Windows 7.
    I guess the Windows drivers are unsuitable!!
    Did you find a solution in the meantime?
    Thanks,

  • How to configure screen-brightness of macbook to lowest value as default

    Hi,
    setup: macbook 3,1 with external 24" display. Basicly the user is only using the external screen which is defined as main screen in this 10.5 installation.
    question is:
    Is it possible to define the screen brightness of the macbook itself to lowest possible value ?
    As the macbook screen is not used at all it would be great to disable the brightness or at least reduce it as much as possible. I can do that with the brightness-key, but that is only a session setting. not permanent.
    any ideas ?
    best regards
    fidel

    solved it with an applescript.

  • NB100 - How set the screen brightness?

    Hi all.
    Just bought an NB100 - overall very very pleased with it. Well built, good screen and very compact etc.
    Got a couple of questions? The screen brightness is controlled by Fn+F9/F10. I like to have it set to "halfway" or less - partly to preserve battery - but also because I find max brightness is actually TOO bright for me! But on reboot the machine seems to always start at maximum again. Is there any way round this? Does it perhaps need a firmware update (my machine seems to be running version 1.90 which I believe is the latest)?
    I noticed other threads mentioning Fn + F8 as a means of selecting Bluetooth/Wlan etc? Mine seems to just control the fan setting and processor speed - The "grey" fan setting gives 1.6ghz and the fan comes on - whereas Fn+F8 toggles a "white" fan icon - where the processor throttles down to 800/900 ish and the fan slows/stops(?). [in passing I've noticed some videos become "jerky" if the lower setting is chosen]
    I'm not 100% sure what Fn+ "pipe" key does (to the left of F1)? The Fn+F1 switches on wireless/wifi I know - but the "pipe" key seems to be a Wlan symbol (or is that the key to use for Bluetooth or GPS or whatever)? Sorry to sound so ignorant - but the user guide doesnt go into that much detail. I'm fairly sure the machine I bought - which was a Toshiba Refurbished/Reconditioned NB100 - model PLL10E - hasnt got any BT/GPS etc - just the basic wifi which F1 switches on and off.
    Final comment - and others have said this - the key tops are very difficult to see in low light!! The "grey" colour was definitely a design mistake! But I can live with it - either a usb light? or some stickon (white) letters?
    Regards to all.

    hi, i think the best way to set brightness is in options of energy properties accessible in system tray icon. I know about bt and wlan activation, it seem that bt and wlan dispositives are on the same circuit on/off, so not indipendents. Nb100 is a good inexspansive machine :)

  • How to increase screen resolution Solaris 10

    Hi,
    Just installed S10..The monitor that I am using runs pretty high resolution but the highest option that I can choose is 1024x768...What is the easiest way to increase the selections?
    Also where would I look to find audio drivers for this box? The speaker has a red line going through it...Speaker works fine with latest dev build of opensolaris, though...Thanks.

    If you are mirroring the displays they will have the same resolution, if you are extending the displays you can have different resolutions for each display.

  • How to increase screen resolution in Vista under boot camp?

    I have installed Vista Home Premium under boot camp (OS X 10.5.7) but in preferences I can only get the maximum of 1280x960 while my screen resolution on SyncMaster P2250 in OS X is 1920x1080.
    (I am using new Mac mini with NVIDIA GeForce 9400).
    I have inserted Leopard disc in Vista and installed boot camp but still I can't make the resolution higher.

    OK everything works fine! The problem was that after installation of Vista I was inserting old Leopard disc that I bought a year ago instead of inserting the Mac OS X installation disc that I got with new Mac mnini.
    When I put the Mac OS X that was toghether with new Mac mini it installed missing driver and everything started working

  • How to increase screen ?

    i need full screen application at run time

    use reference to stage
    e.g. in AIR
    this.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE
    or the equivalent inside browser (ref to Stage).
    to set back use StageDisplayState.NORMAL

  • How adjust screen brightness in Windows 7?

    I used to use a Windows 98 laptop up to 3+ years ago, but since moving to Mac have largely forgotten how Windows works. I now have Windows 7 on Bootcamp and can't see how to adjust screen brightness. Surely there should be an adjuster on the System Tray (that's what it used to be called) bottom right next to the clock. I'm on 20" iMac with Apple keyboard (the long one with number pad at the right).

    Does the keyboard have brightness controls on the F keys?
    If these do not work: try holding fn and using the F keys.
    If that does now work I have to ask: have you installed the bootcamp software? you need to make a CD (or usb stick) of drivers and software from OSX then boot into wiondows and run it.
